The possibilities of employing methane as a fuel for rockets have the potential to radically overhaul the space industry in multifarious ways.
Primarily, as aforementioned, methane embodies a more ecologically friendly fuel source than traditional rocket fuels. If implemented, the utilization of methane-powered rockets has the capability of reducing the carbon footprint of space exploration, which has heretofore been an industry notorious for its pollutant output.
Secondly, methane has greater accessibility than certain other rocket fuels, such as liquid hydrogen. Methane is derived from a plethora of sources, ranging from natural gas to renewable sources such as biomass and waste. This denotes that the production and distribution of methane as a rocket fuel can be more stable and less dependent on particular geographic locations.
Thirdly, the potential for methane-powered rockets to be more efficient and cost-effective than traditional rockets is a plausible reality. Due to its increased density relative to hydrogen, methane can be stored in smaller tanks, and requires less insulation to maintain a suitable temperature. This can lead to decreased launch costs and facilitate the execution of more frequent space missions.
Finally, the possibilities of methane-powered rockets affords the potential for lengthier and more ambitious space missions, notably to destinations like Mars. Methane can be synthesized on Mars utilizing the planet's abundant carbon dioxide atmosphere and water ice. Consequently, methane-powered rockets could potentially refuel and return to Earth or proceed to other destinations in the solar system.
Taken together, the implementation of methane as a rocket fuel holds the promise of a revolutionary transformation within the space industry. It has the potential to make space exploration more sustainable, cost-effective, and ambitious than ever before.

Watching them all stage simultaneously was the most chaotic thing I've seen today
Indeed, though unrealistic. I don't know what all of them will be like, but certainly I'd expect Starship to stage relatively early, as would anyone else doing RTLS landings. In contrast, Vulcan would stage much later, since the Centaur upper stage is relatively underpowered... it's their biggest obstacle to reusability, and why they're looking (at most) at recovery of the engine pod rather than the whole booster.
But, Themis doesnt have an upper stage its just a hopper?
Themis will be used has a first stage for the Maia rocket,, but the upper stage is much bigger than the one portrayed here and with a classic fairing, there are also plan to use the themis booster has a side mounted booster for Ariane 7
the solid boosters make really that much naughty smoke?
Yes
If only we could drag race the new rockets like this.
Just boot up ksp :D
@@linecraftman3907 RIP PC
no money😅
Or Juno New Origins (previously known as Simple Rockets 2). @@linecraftman3907
Never say never.
Rockets flying together reminds me of space combat scenes from The Expanse.
Or nuke launches!😂
You must be having so much fun making these. Thanks for letting us partake!
Wish those rockets where flying to China and Russia one way trip!
Was kind of hoping to see Vulcans engine section land with parachutes in the background
Yeah, and some chopsticks to catch the starship super heavy booster. Otherwise an amazing video.
I was hoping to see New Glenn punch a hole right through the center of its landing ship.
i guess it landed downrange instead
I love how the ground crew have to run for their lives. They get no respect.
The guy near Starship was toast I'm sure.
The first methane rocket to successfully enter orbit is launched by China, today🥰
Vulcan's SMART sep and splashdown would've been fun to add and then the Stoke and Starship portions of those respective systems landing somewhat later on would've been great as well.
Everybody loves a good "Rocket Drag Race". Cool landing sequence too!
I love the touch of all the workers booking it away from the launches. Awesome stuff!
I don’t think that last one near starship made it in time lol
@@oberonpanopticon I saw his hard hat fly off!
Awesome, just awesome! For me you've dramatically and artistically captured the cutting edge of Humanity’s Expansion into Space. Very well done, keep up the excellent work.
That was cool! The guys running away before the launch was hilarious. The only thing I missed was Vulcan SMART engine separation along with all the booster seps.
Launched: Starship (First Launch: Apr 20, 23)
Terran 1 (First Launch: Mar 22, 23)
Zhuque-2 (Successful: Jul 7, 2023)
Planned: Vulcan Centaur (Late 2023)
Concept: the rest
don't forget new Glenn
Oh you sick bastard, landing sequence too?!?! 🥰😍🤩
I wish Blue Origin wasn't so damn slow. Makes Boeing look like SpaceX.
Yeah, agreed, only now they really started producing their engines (and only because ULA pressured them into doing so)
Nice modelization of these rockets 👍😆
Fact : the Starship will have the same acceleration than Ariane 5
@ElonmuskInvestment_Platformz Elon mask
Well...I expected a launch animation, but I can safely say this was WAY more chaotic than I expected.
The animation is just gorgeous.
I don't think you're supposed to just park them on the engine bells. Especially not if you plan to start up the engines...
Works in KSP ahah
Awesome, but Vulcan will have SMART reuse to recover the engine section
Maybe it was quite the work to show in 3D and couldnt be properly demonstrated simultaneously with the other ones, i hope he does it someday, the inflatable heat shield looks amazing
Vulcan has a concept paper for SMART reuse. At the moment there is neither the money nor the intent to develop it.
maybe one day, maybe not.
Either way it will not show up on the landing site so it doesn't matter.
@@murrey46692there is intent to develop it
Just beacuse information about it is rare, it doesnt mean nothing is happening
As for the money, i mean, LOFTID was pretty much a joint project between NASA and ULA since both will use this technology.
Should've had Superheavy get caught by Mechazilla when it landed. 😆
Poor raptors being landed on xD
Yeah, I've assumed that Starship Booster was going to get caught by Chopsticks, but alas.
Just needed to land Starship on the Machazilla chopsticks.
1:29 the plume from Terran 1 overlaps Neutron (I guess the plume is done in post process?). These videos are awesome, please keep making more!
Imagine making a combo of all of these rockets in sfs.
very cool idea! Love all the booms. Though after the srbs separated I was hoping for a collision with New Glenn. Looking forward to all of these launches especially Starship and Nuetron
The sound of the Rokets were Mozart-Bethowen in my ears
That last guy didn't stand a chance, got erased from the existence
Woah are those really to scale with the people? That really puts those smaller rockets into perspective after only seeing them compared to starship
No, the scaling is completely wrong. Especially New Glenn and Starship are big, but not that big.
@@Clematisch well, Vulcan is 62m tall and Starship is 120m. The scale in this video doesn't seem that off to me.
@@Clematisch Starship is definitely to scale here, it is 9 metres wide and 120 metres tall which looks very close compared to those people
@@Clematisch
Starship's super heavy alone is taller (although not wider) than the S-I of the Saturn V.
Rockets are really really big, they need to be, to put large things into orbit.
Yep, it really is to scale. The others aren't exactly small - e.g. Neutron is about 40m, about the height of a ten storey building - but Starship is just ridiculously big. There's a reason people get excited about it...
At least two of those have returning 2nd stages... Starship, Stoke, and there might be another one.
Those fairing jettisons should be outside of atmosphere and we shouldn't hear the rocket exhaust sound at that point any more. Just nitpicking. You get artistic licence to this and other things
Great stuff as normal but I think you missed a beat not having the chopsticks catch SH. :~)
No more than half of these rockets will ever launch. Of those that do, not all will be commercially successful.
LOL, very nice
Super Heavy landing on its engine bells, just like what Kerbals do.
This is the reason i sub to your channel,,, AWESOME!!!
Zhuque-2! The first methane fueled rocket to attempt launching, and soon Terran-1 will attempt as well!
SpaceX and Relativity Space are both my favorite companies and Rocket Lab also captures my heart too
What about ULA new Vulcan C ?
1:23 rip, last guy running
This is what its like inside Elon Musk's head 24/7
You deserve a gold medal with his idea😮
The human-to-scale running like hell had me!😂
What's most amazing is that with methane rockets we can realistically launch a methane-harvester and produce rocket fuel in-situ on other planets.
Only the gas giants tho?
@@liammeech3702
Methane rockets are better suited for Mars or even Venus, since these planets have a lot of CO2 as part of their atmospheres.
Gas Giants are made of mostly hydrogen, thus are better suited for fusion rockets, as means to collect deuterium or even tritium
@@davisdf3064 in my original comment I meant to ask how could you get methane out of Mars/moon?
@@liammeech3702
In Mars, is much simpler, you have the atmosphere, wich is mostly CO2, you can bring some hydrogen (wich is really light), and separate the CO2 into Oxygen and Carbon, then, you make Methane (CH4) using the Hydrogen and Carbon.
In the Moon, it's much harder due to you needing to find carbon and possibly water, but it's definitely possible too.
Didn't see anyone point it out yet, but the people run from the rockets moments before they all launch simultaneously
Oh my gawd! That guy didn't make it!
That dude was running for his life
This is what it may look like if we have WW3. 1:27
Mankind is incredible. Imagine if we put all our national efforts into conquering the stars.
wonderful first section. now for stage 2 to land too!
Neutron's second stage is extremely optimized as an expendable stage, ZQ-2 and Themis/Maia's upper stages are just kind of small and can't really afford to waste mass on EDL hardware, preferring to just be as cheap as possible, and New Glenn's goal (for now) is distributed lift rather than full reuse. But yeah, an animation of Stoke's hydrogen stage landing next to Starship would be awesome.
@@Ithirahad You forgot Terran R, that's also reusable second stage.
@@FastSloth87 True, although I think Relativity has now descoped to an expendable S2 for Terran R block 1.
@@Ithirahad yeah, I saw that new model on their stream, still, the version in the video is the fully reusable one.
Excellent as always. Hey you 8 downvoters, go pound some salt. Such jealousy. If you don't like what Haze is doing, please, by all means start your own YT page and let's see your work..... crickets.
Cool video animation about the Methane Space Rockets. Time to update your great work. Greetings from Europe BE.

Second stage of Stoke is LH2-LOX🤔
But the first stage is methane. Same as Vulcan
I think your health and safety practices could use some work... those workers sprinting for cover probably didn't make it.
You can almost hear Free Bird solo playing in the background.
Didn't Peter Beck say the Neutron was going to run on kerolox because it's cheaper and simpler ?
Buuu, Vulcan cheat solids bosters! Immediate disqualification! 😆
I hope the folks that want to ban gas stoves don't see this.
This is so amazing!
The future of spaceflight is methane powered!
No. The future is hydrogen. In addition to power, it is lighter.
@@No.Inkognito the density of LH2 means it doesn't work well as a good propellant choice for larger rockets compared to CH4. It's also more cost-effective and reusability friendly and easier to work with.
My first comment wasn't suggesting LH2 is getting obsolete, it's just that CH4 is clearly getting more popular.
@@No.Inkognito Not for space launch. Hydrogen may have a role in deep-space, but it's a terrible choice for launch. Yes, the fuel itself is lighter - but it's much less dense and difficult to store, meaning that any mass saved on fuel is lost on extra structural mass... and structural mass doesn't go down as you burn fuel.
Starship Booster Lands on his engines ... shure .... who is the catch tower ? :D
lol amazing. Acceleration at liftoff is wayyyyyyyyyyy too high, though.
Almost reminds me of that old TV show "The Day After" for some reason...
To be fair no rocket fuel can accelerate you faster than a good gravitational slingshot
No tower catch?! Ouch my aching nozzles!
Hey, Starship didn't burn up and spread metal!
what lies ahead
There can only be one winner, plus a few more for specific niches.
Neutron needs a nickname. How about stubby?
This reminds me. I need to stop and get batteries on my way home.
Can you do one on the Zero rocket interstellar technologies?
Coolest video
For some reason, all of the workers look like Keanu Reeves.
As I'm writing this comment, none of them has reached orbit yet. However, a few hours from now, Realativity Space Terran 1 can be the first methane rocket ever to reach orbit. A new age of spaceflight beginning? We'll see.
There is something ominous about a simultaneous launch of this many rockets from one location.))))
Not complaining, though. It's a beautiful video! Great job, man!
Can’t wait too see the ones with reusable second stages come back too earth
starship sound in the background
ULA smokin
Nice. A literal space race. I so want to see this multiple launch in real life! Yeah yeah, they'd probably crash into each other... whatever 😁
Thanks, Can I store my farts in here?
We should see a vertical drag race between Methanol and Alcohol rockets see what kind of fuel punches the most volumetric thrust
You forgot the first methane rocket. The Blue Flame land speed record holder from the 70s. 🙄
Looks like at least three good options out there where there is a path of development unfolding that involves harnessing methalox engines and encompassing some reusability: Starship, New Glen and Neutron. Exciting stuff. Hope they can bring down that dollar per kilogram cost a good notch or two, while increase frequency of safe transport into orbit.
New Glenn will be about as successful as New Shepard, which is to say very late and largely a waste of time.
@@owensmith7530 It is not a waste of time. Talking about another partially reusable launch system, and one with a decent payload capacity for leo and GTO on paper. Competition is good.
@@michaeldunne338 Blue Origin started before SpaceX and yet have achieved almost nothing in comparison. And in the early days Blue Origin had far more money available to them than Space X. Unless Blue Origin radially improves they're going to be pointless, or just an engine manufacturer for ULA.
@@owensmith7530 that relation of chronology is getting trite. Its a good thing that Blue Origin is pursuing a heavy lift booster with some reusability that aims to convey up to 45 metric tonnes into low earth orbit. Its not pointless. Its presents a prospect of interesting competition, that could support a number of needs, and an alternative in case things don't pan out so well with Starship.
And, being an engine manufacturer for other aerospace companies is not small beer, while those engineering efforts support the New Glenn program.
@@michaeldunne338 You might regard the relation of the chronology as trite. But why have Blue Origin taken so long to produce so little?
1:10 🤭They are still too close, poor souls
The first to come back wins!
Congratulations to Zhuque-2 (ZQ-2) 🇨🇳 , success in being the first in the world, others will copy your technology
Even if the 1st stage of the terran r quantum tunnels through the 1st stage of the Vulcan at 2:33 this video brought a smile to my face!
This is where all the meth is going, then.
why is the black one still pointy?
Yeeeeah, StarShip is really thick !
Now this is why I like animation, this would never happen in real life.
My little man’s strut has me 😎😎😎
Oh good everyone got cleared in time
Is it posssible to use some parts of the video for another one ? i will give proper credits as well
But that a great animation
Woww wowwwwwww wooooww😲🔥🔥
It’s like all these companies tried to make an alliance to have the idea of launching all their rockets at once. Also I love how the workers were casually running before the rockets took off.
new glenn design is outdated
Hey, you left out the applause.
I love the Neutron so bad
I seriously love you and this channel. Thank you so much for these videos
